redhat-list Digest, Vol 27, Issue 26

[Posey, Jake E]

The reason I was tarring a tar file to the tape I didn't want to backup a whole file system just to test the tape drive.  I tried doing just a file or a directory and that didn't work either.

As for the hp server it's running hpux 11i and I'm much more familiar with hp.  On the hp tape drive that is connected to the hp server it reads just about anything.  And I'm using "tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0m" to read the tape and to write to the tape I used "tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0m /tmp" and it works just fine. 

I take that same tape and try to read it on the tape drive that is connected to the linux machine and it doesn't work.  It's the same type of tape drive except for it's an external scsi tape drive.  

I tried tar -cvf /dev/nst0 /tmp, still didn't work.

[root at darc200 ~]# tar cvf /dev/nst0 /tmp
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/tmp/
tar: /tmp/.gdm_socket: socket ignored
tar: /tmp/mapping-root: socket ignored

tar: /dev/nst0: Cannot write: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[root at darc200 ~]#


I ran hp's tape utility hp_ltt and it reads and writes to the tape just fine.

I can even write to the tape using the software that came with the tape drive called Tapeware by Yosemite, I just can't use tar and my users wants to be able to use tar.

Thanks for your help,
Jake

Are you using bash?  try running it with 'bash -x <script>'

Use 'set -x' within the script to turn it on, and 'set +x' to turn it off.

Or, within the script, on the second line do:

	set -x

This is useful if the script you are trying to debug is called from another
script.  Also, you don't care which shell you are running.

I use this to do debugging a lot.  But the error you get might be extremely
misleading.  If you have a missing/misplaced double-quote (or any of
the quotes), the error it complains about could be many lines away from the
actual location.

Can you recommend some good sources of information on this type of stuff
so that I don't keep bothering the list?

"Can you recommend some good sources of information on this type of

I could not answer your question because I did not know about "set -x".
If you didn't "bother" the list, I still wouldn't know.  So, as far as I
am concerned bother away!  I get to learn a lot by proxy.

To echo commands as they appear, have this as your first line in the script:

#!/bin/bash -v

If you want to see the values of variables at any point in time during
execution, have this:

#!/bin/bash -x

If you don't mind dense reading, the bash man page can be a treasure trove
of hints and tricks.  That's what I use.

Jeffrey,

The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide <http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/> at the

My favorite desk reference is "Linux in a Nutshell".  It's a reference
book, however, not a training guide, but set -x is documented in the
section on bash.

I'm getting the following error when trying to read a tape.  I check the
status of the drive.

 

[root at darc200 ~]# mt -f /dev/nst0 status

SCSI 2 tape drive:

File number=0, block number=-1, partition=0.

Tape block size 32768 bytes. Density code 0x26 (DDS-4 or QIC-4GB).

Soft error count since last status=0

General status bits on (1010000):

 ONLINE IM_REP_EN

[root at darc200 ~]#

 

Then I attempt to read the tape and get the following errors:

 

[root at darc200 ~]# tar -b32768 -tvf /dev/nst0

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

tar: Skipping to next header

When I don't specify the block size it just hangs.

 

[root at darc200 ~]# tar tvf /dev/nst0

 

 

When attempting to write to the tape using tar -cvf temp.tar /dev/nst0
it fails also.

 

The tape is a HP StorageWorks Dat 40  scsi tape and usb tape devices.
The OS is Red Hat AS 4.0 with kernel 2.6.9-5.EL i686 GNU/Linux.  I have
the same problem with both tape devices.  

 

I can take the tape and put it in a dat drive on a hp and read it just
fine.

Is the tape doing anything?

Does this:

show anything happening?
This will be doing 512 byte sized block reads.

Certainly. You have that backwards. You want:

	tar cvf /dev/nst0 ...

to write to the tape. And why write a tar file containing a tar file?

Using what command? Or is the HP not running UNIX?

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your reply.

It is true that we can edit the fax file with GIMP or other image editor
as I wrote in my first post. However, due to my limited user experience,
I cannot edit a multi-page fax file in GIMP. Considering the situation,
I receive a fax file via Hylafax and I want to remove the fax number
shown on each fax page. With "Imaging for Windows", I can use the
annotation tool to coat the fax number in white and repeat the action on
multiple fax pages; but I don't know how to do the same thing in the
linux environment. Hence, welcome any idea or comment to this question.

Thank you once more, Mike.

Michael

In the spirit of using Linux as much as possible,  I use my FC4 
server to back my Solaris system.  I have built a custom script that 
reaches across to Solaris system and executes a remote command using 
SSH.  The remote command used is "ufsdump".  The command looks something like
ssh -l user host ufsdump -0uf  - /partition-to-be-backed-up 
|cat  >/destination-directory/filename

Everything is fine til I need to restore from a back up.  It seems 
that I can backup and restore the smaller partitions (in this case 
2.2Gb) without issue. However, when I try to restore a backup for a 
larger partition(in this case 7.6Gb), I am unable restore without 
moving the backup file to a Solaris system.  Once I move the backup 
file to a Solaris system, it seems to work correctly. So the backup 
is being created accurately.

Is there any know differences between the Linux "restore" command and 
the Solaris "ufsrestore" command?  In both cases I am doing an 
interactive restore.
Linux -- restore -vif backup-file.dmp
Solaris -- ufsrestore -vif backup-file.dmp

I would appreciate any insights.

try this.

http://www.nber.org/sys-admin/copy-out.html

 Copying all mail to Archive *The following is probably made obsolete by this
<http://www.technoids.org/procmailfilter.html>.[note added 13July2005*

One of the most common questions on comp.mail.sendmail is "How do I get
sendmail to archive copies of outgoing mail". This question is usually left
unanswered, as the more influential members of the sendmail community think
that is an improper action. They are apparently thinking of an ISP snooping
on its customers. I expect the more likely case is a business such as a
brokerage which is legally required to keep copies of correspondence, for
understandable reasons.

Some mailers make this easy. Postfix has "bcc: always" option that solves
this problem with a single request.

Anthony C Howe has posted milter-bcc
<http://www.milter.info/milter-bcc/index.shtml> which appears to duplicate
the Postfix ability in Sendmail. See also
Synonym<http://www.modulo.ro/synonym/>from Modulo Consulting.

The Sendmail FAQ does offer three suggestions for doing this, but except for
one, they require extensive modification to sendmail, and it is clear that
they are not offered in the expectation that they will be implemented.

In the FAQ, and in the newsgroup, it is also suggested that Procmail can do
this. Most people making this suggestion are merely confused, since if you
install procmail as documented, it only sees incoming mail. Since it never
sees outgoing mail, it isn't going to be able to save copies. However it
turns out that there is a way to install procmail to process outgoing mail.
I haven't tried it myself, but I did track down the available instructions,
and have copied them below. There is obviously room for someone to actually
try to document this in simple terms for sendmail users of less than guru
status. As a start, one could consult this
<http://www.technoids.org/procmailfilter.html>. [Note added September 2005 -
Procmail scanning of outbound mail has apparently been added to Sendmail, if
not to the FAQ. See here <http://www.sendmail.org/m4/mailers.html>.

The sendmail FAQ includes a reference to a comp.mail.sendmail posting using
only * 33AA593A.4B701C3F at syntegra.nl * for the citation. While some users
might know to go to the Google Groups "Advanced Search" page, others may
not. I expect this page will come up for anyone searching in the Google web
engine for that message-id, thus letting the uninitiated see the posting
referred to.

Subject: Solution for copying all mail to archive
Newsgroups: comp.mail.sendmail
View: (This is the only article in this thread) | Original Format

It took me some time, but,
I have it solved...
This can also be used as a general purpose mailfilter too, excellent for
detecting spam and other unpleasant things.

Solution:

Let sendmail map everything through procmail, let procmail do to your
mail whatever you want with it and map it back.

That was the easy part...
Now for the syntax.

Add some local rules to your m4 config file ( use m4, ALWAYS ! ).

MAILER(`procmail')dnl
LOCAL_RULE_0
R$*<@$*.procmail>$* $1@<$2>$3 map back of procmail copy
LOCAL_RULE_0
R$*<@$+>$* $#procmail $@/etc/procmailrc $:$1@$2procmail$3 send all
external mail to procmail

this will send all mail through procmail using the file /etc/procmailrc
as the config file for procmail.

I use this one:

:0 c:
/var/mail/archive

Once I found this all out ( with a little help, I might add ). it all
seemed so simple....

Maybe this would be a good item to add to the faq, since it is a general
purpose add on for sendmail that can be used for many useful purposes.

Known problems:
Sending to a top leve domain doesn't work, it somehow looses a dot, but
then again, there are no mailaddresses in toplevedomains, to my
knowledge, so, who cares.
This version only works for mail wit a @ sign in the address, it's kind
of hard to split up an address that consists of only one string.

Good luck, I hope the mail-commutity is happy with this.

You *didn't* get the tabs right - it should be like this (no need for
multiple LOCAL_RULE_0 directives), where I have used <TAB> instead of
actual tab(s):

LOCAL_RULE_0
R$*<@$*.procmail>$*<TAB>$1@<$2>$3<TAB>map back of
procmail copy
R$*<@$+>$*<TAB>$#procmail $@/etc/procmailrc
$:$1@$2procmail$3<TAB>send all
external mail to procmail

Btw, it's probably better to do this with a milter these days.
